Bgums13 Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 Ok guys need input I have a guy wanting to trade me a vf7 for my brown I went and tried one on and it fits great super light but almost to light, I don’t need the protection of the brown anymore but i also don’t need bruises from a guy who can barely skate so if I go through with this what can I expect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coopaloop1234 Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 You'll be fine. It's protection will be good, mobility will be great. You'll probably feel shots a little more than in your Brown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southpawtendy48 Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 Any reason why you wouldn’t want the better protection from the brown? Just curious. i don’t have experience with Vaughn chesties but you tend to feel a little more in them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jayluv54 Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 really depends on what kind of shots you'll see. IMO having used the V6, you won't get hurt in it, but coming from a Brown, you may not appreciate what you feel in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen a good number of pro spec vf7's on Sideline Swap over the last few months. Small through XL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mroy31 Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 +1 to others with Vaughn units Been using the SLR Pro Carbon for about 9 months now. The only real stingers I've felt are from the former college guys at pick-up who can really hammer it and it hits me in the bicep area. Even then, no bruises, and it's not even every time I get hit there. So you should be good in the V7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Small through XL. I tried both a large and XL on the large arms fit better but the xl body provided better coverage, the problem is I’ve had my brown posted on various Facebook pages going on 3 months and I’ve had 3 hits 1 was to big 1 was to small and now I have a trade for a Vaughn unit which looks like a very good option otherwise if it would just sell I’d buy a left over warrior G2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaveByRichter35 Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 If you're looking to unload the Brown and this person wants it then make the trade. If you don't like the Vaughn you'll probably have a much easier time selling it than you were the Brown. Then begin your search for the next c/a.

Wonder why that is, has Brown lost that cult following they once had? I remember 15yrs ago if you had a brown you were the talk of the rink now it’s like the units carry leporsey lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will actually save my money for one some day. I just won’t touch a used unit with a ten foot pole or I’d get one as there is no such thing as “on sale” Brown units.
